Background
Clinton originally planned on a double album,but the idea was quashed by Warner Brothers. The original tracklist featured the instrumental version of the title track found on the 12" single's b-side,as well as the tracks "May Day (S.O.S.)" and "I Angle",later released on the George Clinton Family Series albums Plush Funk and Testing Positive 4 the Funk,respectively. [1] The title refers to the US government's use of media propaganda to promote imperialism and war. [2]
It includes many relative newcomers to P-Funk,many of whom remained employed by George Clinton on future releases under his own name or under the name George Clinton &the P-Funk All-Stars. Of all the original group members since Funkadelic's debut album,only George Clinton,Ray Davis,and Eddie Hazel appear on this album. Junie Morrison plays all the instruments on the title track except the guitar solo which was played by Michael Hampton. This was the last Album to feature Eddie Hazel,Ray Davis,Garry Shider,Junie Morrison,Mallia Franklin,and Jessica Cleaves. Also this is the only Funkadelic album the late Roger Troutman appears on as well. Sly Stone performs several instruments and contributed production work to the album.
